Nemera cares about patients

A brand new initiative has been launched across our Nemera sites in France, contributing further to the lives of patients in their daily care as well as through scientific research for the future. We have started a collaboration with Microdon, a platform representing a great number of charity initiatives, offering Nemera and our employees in France a secured portal through which they can contribute directly to charity organizations by means of regular donations.

Through Microdon, Nemera employees residing in France can decide to donate an amount on a monthly basis, rounding up their salary and contributing to the charity initiative of their choice. The charity associations are all certified and regularly screened according to important criteria.

Prior to launching the initiative, employees at our two locations of Le Tréport and La Verpillière voted on the good causes they wanted to donate to. Three organizations stood out:

Institut Curie: developping cancer research for the discovery of new therapies and innovating for the benefit of patients

Le Rire Médecin: improving hospitalized children’s resilience towards their illness by play and the power of laughter

.Rêves: making the dreams come true of seriously ill children

For every euro collected Nemera provides an additional donation directly to the charity organization. This commitment is an integral part of our vision to improve patients’ lives worldwide and of our corporate social responsibility efforts. Elizabeth de Longeaux, Vice President Global Human Resources, explains that “to Nemera, doing good is just as important as doing good business.”

The launch has been a great success and feedback from employees has been overwhelmingly positive, as they realize that even a small donation can have an important impact. We would like to express a big thank you to all employees putting patients first through this important initiative!

Nemera always puts patients first, providing the most comprehensive range of devices in the industry, including off-the-shelf innovative systems, customized design development and contract manufacturing.
